Shawn's Take

Shawn's Exclusive!

This take is on the entire Two-Step Moves & Patterns series.

With a year on the market, we have heard the reviews on all of our new Texas Two-Step DVDs and the feedback is AWESOME! We are certain that these videos are the best way to learn how to Two-Step, or to take your Two-Steppin skills to the next level. Be sure to check out the Two-Step Moves & Patterns video collection (8 DVDs) before you buy just one!

We zeroed in on several facets of the two step from the leading perspective as well as the ins and outs of promenade position that are essential for any 2-stepper.

I guarantee you'll never look at Two-Step the same again and you'll be loving this dance!

In addition to the normal lesson plans, we've done something unique in these new Two-Step lessons. We've added in a bonus section that gives some challenging material to work on once you 'get' the other lessons. It's fun just to see the possibilities and if you're up for the challenges, you'll really enjoy these sections. In addition, we've included several complete two-step songs and put them in just for practicing what you learned. Now, it's not just an instruction video on how to dance the two-step, but it's a practice guide to help you build your muscle memory and ensure you're able to incorporate everything you learned into your next outing at a country nightclub or anywhere they're playing country music.

Seriously, folks, if you're in a rut with your dancing, bored with your current material, or just ready to start soaking up all the information you can on such a great social dance, the all-new Two-Step Moves & Patterns series will be the perfect choice for you. Either start with Moves & Patterns V1 or get the whole set - I guarantee you'll never look at Two-Step the same again and you'll be loving this dance!

This is another of my favorite volumes because these moves are very popular in the country dance halls, which some guys do incorrectly. It's one thing to go through the motions on the dance floor, sure you can stumble through it on a dance floor, but it's quite another to hit the move with good hand placement, in step, with rhythm. Shawn and Nicole teach you key micro hand movements along with many tips that guys MUST do (and girls MUST learn what the guys are trying to do) in order for the moves to work properly.

You simply cannot pick up the subtle hand changes or hand placements by observing people on the dance floor because it all happens way too fast; the moves will be invisible to you. The instruction from Shawn and Nicole are superb, as usual! They breakdown these subtle moves piece by piece so you can perfect them.

Let me give you an example of what happens if you do NOT use the tips Shawn teaches in the video: When I practiced the sequence of dance moves (in Section 1 of the DVD, outside torque turn + 1 guy turn + lady free turn) over the weekend at my local country dance hall, the girls spun too fast, or too many times, or were confused. Why is that? Because "I" failed to execute the moves correctly! When I went back to the DVD to see what happened, I noticed I was not using the tips Shawn taught me! I needed to stop the girl from turning by using the little trick (for guys) Shawn taught in the video. That's why it's so important to use the tips Shawn/Nicole give you, otherwise you're just going through the basic motions. You should practice exactly what's in the DVDs, and go back to review to check if you've missed anything, often you'll see that extra tip you need to add into your moves.

Wow! I am really pleased with this latest set of Two-Step DVD videos from Shawn Trautman. I have several of his previous videos including the Basic Two-Step three DVD set. The first two DVDs of this intermediate level set that I have studied are just awesome. This second DVD in the series covers the cape and wrap patterns that will be the foundation for more patterns. The pattern moves are repeated several times and shown from different angles so that you can see all the subtleties of the different patterns presented. Then there are review and practice chapters on each DVD. And then there is a bonus chapter on each DVD with optional moves that can be added to the patterns presented before. I really feel that now I can go out on the dance floor and look like I know something about this dance. I am looking forward to the release of the remainder of this set of DVDs. I would highly recommend this new DVD set to anyone wanting to improve their Two-Step knowledge.

Can't wait for the next Volume

In Volume 2 of Two-Step Moves & Patterns, Shawn breaks down wraps and turns that look complicated but within minutes you're dancing right along with him. Using my very basic knowledge of Two-Step, I was able to learn all the moves in a short time. Can't wait for the next Volume.
